I hear what you are saying, and I certainly didn't mean to imply that I'm not guilty of the same things. I've been using "gay" as a negative adjective for 30 years, like a lot of other people. But every time I do it, I think of what my very close gay friends would say about me using it that way. Whether they specifically would be offended by it is one thing, but the point is that it just isn't right to commandeer that word and use it as an insult or detractor when there really is no reason that it should be.
Where it gets interesting is that "gay" as a descriptor came into fashion when "queer" was deemed too possibly offensive. I wouldn't be surprised, if we were to move past "gay" as a parallel pejorative, some other word would pop up to take its place.
In this case, maybe you, me, and all of us need to work on changing pop culture and getting it out of a grade-school mentality. As long as Kobe was fined because he did a piss-poor job of acting professionally and as a role model rather than just "hurting the ref's feelings," that's a start.
Pop culture has that lowest common denominator appeal about it; that's why it's popular. Good luck on raising that bar. But let's not kid ourselves here - he was fined for PC reasons, albeit trivially so given the size of his paychecks. Otherwise, we wouldn't be seeing half of the NBA tripping over themselves to issue statements and apologies and conduct investigations.

#1 - it has taken them almost a year to work out the paint issues with this thing meaning that they have been putting R&D money effertlessly into a phone color, all for what?
I can imagine that Apple provides detailed specs to the manufacturers of the glass and that there is a bidding process involved. That means that any deviation from the provided specs after production will have to be corrected at the cost and time of the manufacturer, not Apple.
If this is actually the case, than the manufacturer can even be held accountable for the loss in sales.

I'm using Garmin Mobile XT on my Windows mobile phone--it's really really nice.
Using maps on my iPad.... uhhhh.... not so nice :P
So, which app do you use on the iPad for GPS? I use TomTom app myself, and it's really really nice as well. :)

There's 2 jailbreak apps for this. One creates a daemon that constantly deletes the location files. Another onewipes out the location history and then does a wipeout of each location currently.
A lot of people are saying this is no big deal. According to the hacker that found this out, a hacker can hack onto the computer that the backup is located on and find out all of your locations.
All the people saying, "I don't sell drugs so I have nothing to worry about" or "I have nothing to hide" are probably the same people who voted for homeland security.......and we can all see how good that was...NOT.

It's been pretty good. As far as I know, only redsn0w will work at the moment. The process was rather simple and quick. Not sure if you have to upgrade to 4.3.1, but I recommend you do anyway since it gets rid of the screen glitches that are found on 4.3.

In the U.S. complaint, Samsung accuses Apple of violating patents that "relate to fundamental innovations that increase mobile device reliability, efficiency, and quality, and improve user interface in mobile handsets and other products.
LOL
Can that be any more VAGUE?! They might as well be suing for the fact that samsung made phones before apple.
Anyone who thinks Apple's reason to sue was bad should just look at that!
Do you realize the complaint goes into WAY more detail about how Apple has apparently infringed on their patents?
Do you realize you are quoting a summary in an article?

never been an issue for me. id rather have better maps stuff, since i use that near daily.

You don't need to know a year ahead of Apple's product launch dates to run your business. There are lots of professionals using 5 year old software to get their millions of dollars of worth work done. I like software upgrades as much as the next guy, but just because it's cool to install new stuff, not that I'll be able to do much more than I can do right now with the new software.
Yes you do if you're a big VFX house.
That's one of the reasons The Foundry (developer of Nuke, Mari, Storm) are so respected in the industry - they listen to what the customers want, go and visit them, and disclose the roadmap a year or so in advance, saying what will be in the next versions and pretty much exactly when they'll be released.
A lot of the new 3D stuff can't be done easily in FCP because it doesn't support stereoscopic playback (there are some plugins which help, but they're not that great), so it's rapidly showing its age. Same goes for RED file support.
3D stereoscopic playback is one of the reasons Shake is now showing its limits compared to Nuke. It's still very usable for the basics, but for new stuff, it's falling behind.

After fratting around trying to get the concept of a modular website finalised in my head, I seem to be in the domain now of php and mySQL/web driven database programming - the dogs nuts way to achieve my current plan for a bilingual site.
We have the corporate image, we will provide all the artistic stuff, we want a dare I say, code head with an appreciation for snappy and very clean websites.
As far as monies, we are not asking for a freebie, at all, I want this thing to rock, but I am not going to roll over to the corporate master programmers out there who spend more on coffeee accounts than most humans consume on running their cars.
We are coming up with creative ways to finance various aspects of our project, some involve work now pay later, others are for a slice of a project's ownership. In the case of this website construction, anyone out there who seriously knows what they are doing, is inbetween jobs, or is striking out on their own and wants to earn good but not greedy money on a very good project please ask and I will send you our apparently well conceived and "detailed at a high level" spec (I can say it is good and detailed because one of these big time outfits thought it would be a really fun and novel addition to their CV, but hand over exorbitant sums, perlease)
For the successful programmer we will ensure regular and meaningful payments till the bill is paid off in full.
The quote has to be real world, not full of little tricks to add to the bill for a slight change in spec or maintain some sort of limiting control prohibiting us from being able to update our site whenever we want. (I was in the estimating game so I can smell an "extras motivated wide boy" from a mile off) and you have to like being pummeled with creativity, because our designer guy is Picasso on the PC.
Interested parties please send me a PM. Our website is aimed at kids, so it is totally cool material.
Thanks

Could I get a link to this picture please?
The front end issues will likely continue for most of the season, it seems to be a trait with the bike, not a setup problem.
Sure (http://image.motorcyclistonline.com/f/30803255/122_1103_01_o+valentino_rossi_ducati_marlboro_team_qatar_motogp_test+.JPG.jpg)
Just puzzles me since they had Stoner complaining about it last year too...

um, you do realize theres a diff between emailing YOU, and marketing your personal data, right?
this isnt about email from the pub. its about them marketing your data to others, whether you get spam from it or not.
Yes, I have seen there are two checkboxes, I even mentioned it in my post. Check or uncheck either one as you like. Maybe you don't like e-mails about new features in their app, then just uncheck both. Or you are fine with receiving e-mail from FT then uncheck only the bottom one.
With Apple's simplified system, you only decide whether to hand over your data to the publisher, you cannot decide what they then do with this data.

What's in it for me?
Weirdest comment ever. But, it did make me realize that perhaps arn's medical history has persuaded him to push for blood donation. Great!

Agreed, .mac had a solid, sensible, identifiable connotation. I wasn't a mac guy at the time, but it whenever I'd see it, conveyed that Apple was providing a decent service package for it's users. "me" just seemed needlessly self-absorbed, and conveys nothing useful. "Castle" sounds like somebody in marketing trying hard to be clever.
I wish they'd simplify, combine & condense all these services, give all their iTunes and new hardware customers an account, and give at least one or two services away free to get people using it in some capacity. ...find my iPhone/iPad, or contact/cal/limited storage push syncing... But just go back to calling the whole package ".mac" again. Clean, short, clear, promotes the brand without being obnoxious.
It'll never be '.mac' again. Apple's ecosystem has changed too much since then, and it's not all about the Mac anymore. But I agree they need a free service which at very least includes syncing between devices, and a small amount of online storage.
